Everyone agrees that this is pretty the best scene of both DC movies, right? I agree. It works on a few levels, and even if I dislike the Space-dad exposition, it still carries on the hopefulness and feeling.
Now, I'm not gonna argue the angles and lenses and the VFX are bad. They're not, and are pretty much perfect.
But they are literally talking about letting in the sunlight and warmth, and they use a blue filter. This is meant to be triump and discovery, but they never show warms. They even go to the savannah and it still doesn't look vibrant. This ruins the cinematography. The scene is good, yes, but it's good DESPITE the cinematographic choices (some of them), not because of them.
If they wanted cold and Superman to pop out, they should have used a different filter for it, that let the red and blue pop from the cold background.
They always feel like Superman is doing it as a burden, like he doesn't enjoy doing it and just wants to go back to his apartment.
The ship-pulling makes him look like he is dragging a cross, ffs. The one where he's flying above a flood have the humans stretching to reach him, and he's floating above, just to get the shot. He should be helping. Shit, in this situation, Superman should be the one reaching, not observing. You can use the same shot with a different character to imply that he cause the flood.
And yes, context IS important, and it is why you know he didn't, but there's no point in making it look like it either. Everything about Superman should be unambiguous. Not because the character can't be explored, but because there's a reason Superman is famous and liked, and there's a reason people read the comics. The comics are the place for R&D, character-wise. The movies should be taking advantage of it and putting the best iterations of the characters on screen.
There's a reason most MCU heroes are better than their comic counterparts.
